2014 Audi A6 2.0L Diesel · HHZ 776

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear deterioration in the suspension and braking components. While it passed the most recent test on 12 June 2026 at 141,340 miles, the record reveals multiple advisories that have persisted or worsened over several years. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to a series of mechanical warnings indicates that the vehicle is now entering a stage where preventative maintenance is required to prevent component failure. The recorded mileage of 141,340 miles over 12 years reflects a consistent usage of approximately 11,800 miles per annum, which aligns with typical national averages for this age. There is a notable period of low usage between December 2023 and January 2025, where the car covered only 531 miles. However, the subsequent surge of over 7,000 miles between January 2025 and June 2026 appears to have accelerated the wear on rubber components and braking hardware, as evidenced by the frequency of recent advisories. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension, as the tester has repeatedly flagged worn arm pins, bushes, and ball joints on both nearside and offside fronts since early 2026. The presence of worn upper MacPherson strut bushes suggests the entire front assembly is reaching the end of its service life. The rear braking system also requires attention; the history shows pitted and scored discs along with thinning pads across the last three tests, suggesting that the owner has neglected routine brake replacements for several intervals. Tyre condition is another recurring concern, with records showing perishing rubber and uneven wear on the nearside rear. The buyer should check for alignment issues that might be causing the edge wear. Given the recurring nature of the suspension faults, any prospective purchaser should budget for significant immediate investment to replace control arms and bushes to ensure the vehicle maintains stable and safe handling characteristics.
